Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Marsden

My husband and I are hoping to buy a house in Marsden and have appointed a Marsden conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Accord Mortgages Ltd have this afternoon contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Marsden conveyancer is not on their conveyancing panel. What do we do from here?

Where you are buying a property requiring a mortgage it is conventional for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Marsden lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Marsden.

If flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate answer. A buyer’s conveyancers should also order an enviro report. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be carried out.
